He discusses how creativity has helped him to express his ideas and led him to where he is today.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

I asked him for an autograph to give my friend who was in the hospital with a brain tumor and instead he grabs my phone and records a personal message to her. I bawled and he gave me a big hug. He's the real deal.

  • He had me sold when he said "My job is not film-making. My job is to be creative. My job is to express myself and to share my ideas and my point of view.". This came off to be such a profound truth, and it's so universal if you think about it. Most of us spend our lives finding that perfect job, perfect title, that elusive thing called "calling" - and all that we should rather be doing is just be ourselves at whatever we do.

This man has brought a certain genius, love and most importantly humanity to film-making again that is rare to see these days. He finds humor in the most absurd and saddest moments and everything he makes makes you think in return. Seeing this very early video/TedTalk with him is great. Much love ❤

    • I have a feeling that upon hearing that, Taika would give you a pep talk about how great it is that you're here, and probably how he's had the same feeling at times in his own life. I feel that feeling a lot these days, but Taika also reminds me of myself in ways after watching this, with his inability to focus on just one creative outlet, and having a drive to express himself and his viewpoint through creativity, and getting obsessed with all kinds of things over the course of his life. When he was talking about his mom's cancer and how maybe doing a series of random bodily movements would keep him from getting cancer, that struck me as a very OCD sort of thing. I can relate to that. Maybe he was totally joking, or maybe he was poking fun at actually having OCD. Idk. Either way, Taika actually gives me hope for my professional future because he reminds me of myself in the ways I've mentioned, and has gotten as far as he has now. I used to compare myself to others a lot, but over the years, it's sunk in how unhelpful that is, and how miserable it can make you. I'm still tempted to do it, but when I feel myself sliding in that direction, I try to talk myself out of it and remind myself that it isn't going to help me. Just try to focus on being better than you were yesterday. That's been a more successful approach for me. I mean, I still get down when I feel I've stagnated, but you and I both also need to be kind to ourselves. Tearing ourselves down won't get us anywhere either.

It's hard to be in a bad mood after listening to Taika
